Needless to say, the young fellas earned these fines.

Lakers rookie Ivica Zubac had 18 points and eight rebounds for the Lakers (20-49), who have lost 12 of 13.

Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 26 points before fouling out for the Bucks (34-34), who are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings with a good shot at their second winning season in 14 years. Young was ejected for picking up his second technical, while Russell and Monroe were given double technicals - auto-ejections - for their role in the altercation.
